Melissa and Doug puzzles are the best on the market in my opinion. They are manufactured in their own plant in China and not subcontracted. They actually work with the people building these and have good control on quality and safety.

We have a large range of puzzles from the basic individual pieces that slot in, to the sounds Fire Engine, to the larger jigsaw puzzle style. They have grown nicely with my daughter and she still loves to go back to the easier ones to do those as well. I love that they are made of wood and not cardboard. Little hands tend to bend cardboard or someone chews on them...
